Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 1/29/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, for the daily cooking quest she had Blood Is Thicker for Wranngar and Gomorra. This is a nice easy one but takes a little travel time.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to the flight point in Un'upe. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou. I killed that which got me covered in blood, part of the quest. I flew back to shore and jumped in, washing the blood off me and creating a blood pool. I fished the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. This doesn't take long as you catch them 2 and 3 at a time.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I traded her the 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g87s9c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking, a Whale Statue, which I sold to a vendor for 11 gold, and a Waterlogged Recipe. Waterlogged Recipe starts a quest. The quest is to take the recipe to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for it, a pretty good deal for something that only takes you around 30 seconds.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 6g13s9c, 3 Elixirs of Water Walking and 2 Worthless Pieces of Green Glass. Gom didn't make out as well.

Cheese for Glowergold - Daily Cooking 1/29/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Cheese for Glowergold for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest. This is my least favorite daily.

For this one you have to run around Dalaran getting Half Full Dalaran Wine Glasses. They are really small and hard to target. You need to get 6 of these. Once I had the 6 I needed I headed over to One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop there in Dalaran, and got the Aged Dalaran Limburger this recipe calls for. Once I had all the ingredients I combined them to make a wine and cheese platter.

I took that over to Ranid Glowergold (36,28) at the Leatherworkers in the Magus Commerce Exchange and exchanged it for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices in it. Nothing to write home about there.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices in it, he made out a little better than Wrann.

Brieanna Level 62 - 1/28/10

I worked on Brieanna some more today and got her to level 62. Mostly I worked on her skills. I got a few of them leveled up pretty well. I got her Herbalism up to 331, I can now pick anything I come across where I am questing. Her skinning is coming along well too, it is up to 403 now and I don't have any problem skinning anything I come across and I shouldn't, the cap for skinning in Burning Crusades was 375. Her cooking is moving right along, it is up to 386 and is probably as high as I can get it until I am in Northrend and able to get more recipes. The only two skills I can work on are first aid, I can get that up to 400 before I hit Northrend, and fishing. Her fishing needs work and I am not looking forward to that. Leveling fishing is probably one of the most boring skills to level. Her fishing is at 151 so she has a long way to go, she is about 200 points off where she should be.

Brieanna - Level 61 - Flying in Outlands

I got Brieanna to level 61 tonight. I did that in Alterac Valley. This was the first time I ever fought in a battleground on her and didn't do too bad. She came out in the top 5, for Alliance, for damage and kills in most the battles and in the top 10 in all the battles. She now has a total of 699 lifetime honorable kills and some marks and honor. I dual spec'd her before I went in because I wanted to be Marksman in the battlegrounds instead of Beast Master, that is working out well too.

I also did some questing in Outlands and found out, when she hit 60, that you can buy your expert riding skill (225) at 60 and get a flying mount. I got that at Honor Hold in Hellfire Peninsula. Now that she can fly the questing should go a lot faster and will certainly be easier. I will have to get it on Wrangar, my Deathknight, too.

I am going to stay out of the battlegrounds now until she is level 65, then I will be back in there and do nothing but battlegrounds until she is level 70.

Mustard Dogs - Daily Cooking 1/27/10

When I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, for the daily cooking at least she had something different. Today she had Mustard Dogs! for Wranngar and Gomorra.

For this one you need to hit the grassy areas in Dalaran looking for Wild Mustard. Both Wranngar and Gomorra got their first 2 behind A Hero's Welcome today. They got the rest they needed around town, then I hit the bank for some Rhino Meat to make the 4 Rhino Dogs this recipe calls for. I cooked those up and combined them with the Wild Mustard in the Empty Picnic Basket to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took that over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing, a man that really likes his Mustard Dogs and exchanged it for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it. He didn't make out too bad today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 2 Northern Spices in it, he didn't make out quite as well.

Brieanna Level 59 - Outlands 1/26/10

I got Brieanna to level 58 tonight while questing in Silithus. That was all I needed, I dropped all the quests I had and headed for the Dark Portal, the entrance to Outlands.

You level pretty fast in Outlands once you hit Hellfire Peninsula, you have no choice. The main reason for that is you are under non-stop attack form everything there from almost the second you arrive. I did a few quests and leveled to 59. I will need to head back to Azeroth and get my Herbalism up to level 300 so I can pick herbs in Outlands, the lowest level herb there is 300. I think I have around 14 points to go.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 1/26/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had The Ghostfish for Wranngar and Gomorra again.

This had me heading to my spot in Sholazar Basin to catch the elusive Phantom Ghostfish. I got it on my 5th cast on Gomorra but it took me 19 casts to get one on Wranngar. Once I caught it I ate it right away as it is on a timer and disappears after 60 seconds. Eating it produced the effect 'invisibility' which lasts for 15 seconds. After, I headed back to see Marcia and let her know what I found out. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g97s83c, a Glow Worm, a Worthless Piece of Green Glass and 4 Deviate Fish in it. Definitely not worth the time it took to fly out there for the second day in a row.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g74s79c, a Glow Worm, a Velociraptor Skull and 4 Deviate Fish in it. Not worth the time wasted for him either. If it is the same thing tomorrow I will skip it.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 1/26/10

Today when I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for Wranngar and Gomorra again.

I headed down into the sewers and picked my 4 Infused Mushrooms, then I headed over to the bank and grabbed 2 pieces of Chilled Meat to cook them with to make my meatloaf. I cooked it up at a fire someone had going then headed over to exchange them with Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore, for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 5 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it while Gomorra's had 3 Northern Spices and 3 Baby Spice in it. They both made out pretty well today.

Brieanna - Level 57 and Grand Master Skinning 1/25/10

Brieanna got her Grand Master Skinning training today when she reached 375 skinning. That means, before ever questing in Outlands, she will be able to skin anything in Outlands. I am sure she will be able to skin everything in Northrend long before she gets there. I had to take the boat from Stormwind to Northrend to get my training, it cost me 35 gold.

I also got her Herbalism up to 238 tonight. I ran all over the place and had to train at 225 to go to 300. I am at the point where I can pick a lot of the Herbs in the area's where I am questing again, but I want to get it up to 250-275 so I don't run into the problem of not being able to pick something. I am going to have to really keep on top of it this time because I hate having to go back and level up a profession. The only plus side to it I can see is the mobs don't even see me when I am there as long as I don't bump into them.

I also got her to level 57 tonight. I did that before I worked on her Herbalism and after I got my Grand Master Skinning training. I was in Western Plaguelands when she leveled. One more level until I am in Outlands, 3 more levels before she is fighting in Alterac Valley. Before she leveled I was questing in Winterspring. I had one quest there where I was killing level 59 and 60 elites. It was close but I did it, they were 3 and 4 levels above me at the time and elite.

Daily Fishing - The Ghostfish 1/25/10

Today Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, had The Ghostfish for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily fishing quest. This one is really easy but I hate the travel time involved.

This had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to the flight point at River's Heart in Sholazar Basin. From there I flew up to my spot up top and a little northwest of the flight point. I got my Phantom Ghostfish on Wranngar on his 10th cast and Gomorra got his on his 8th cast. I usually have pretty good luck there, getting my Ghostfish in 10 casts or less.

I hearthed back to Dalaran and told Marcia I figured out the secret. She gave me a Bag of Fishing Treasures for my trouble.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g80s13c, 5 Pygmy Oil, 4 Deviate Fish and a Whale Statue, that I sold to a vendor for 11 gold, in it. Not a great day of fishing for Wrann but the statue made up for it a little.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 7g60s70c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking and a Diamond-tipped Cane. Gom got screwed on this one today.

Infused Mushroom Meatloaf - Daily Cooking 1/25/10

Today when I went to see Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, she had Infused Mushroom Meatloaf for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest.

This had me heading down into the Underbelly, the sewers below Dalaran, to pick Infused Mushrooms. This recipe calls for 4 and I got them pretty quick today. Once I had those I was off to the bank to grab some Chilled Meat for the other part of the recipe. I cooked my meatloafs at a fire someone had going inside the bank then headed over to see Orton Bennet, upstairs at Curiosities and Moore. I exchanged the meatloafs for 9g93s, a Dalaran Cooking Award and a Small Spice Bag.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 5 Northern Spices and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 4 Northern Spices and 4 Old Spices in it. Not as good a haul as Wrann but not bad either.

Daily Fishing - Blood is Thicker 1/24/10

Today when I went to see Marcia Chase (53,65), by the fountain in Dalaran, she had Blood Is Thicker for the daily fishing quest. I did it on both Wranngar and Gomorra. This is an easy one, the only thing I don't like about it is the travel time although I took advantage of that to get my daily battleground out of the way.

This one had me taking the flight path from Dalaran to to the flight point in Un'upe, in the Borean Tundra. Once there I flew inland until I found a Marsh Caribou to kill. Killing that gets me covered in blood which is part of the quest. Covered in blood I flew back to the shore and jumped in, creating a blood pool. I fished the blood pool until I caught 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy. You catch them 2 and 3 at a time so it doesn't take long.

Once I had my 5 Bloodtooth Frenzy I hearthed back to Dalaran and went to see Marcia. I traded her the Bloodtooth Frenzy for a Bag of Fishing Treasures.

Today Wranngar's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g54s28c, 4 Pygmy Oil and 2 Solid Gold Coins. Wrann has had better days of fishing.

Gomorra's Bag of Fishing Treasures had 10g79s75c, 2 Elixirs of Water Walking, 2 Worthless Pieces of Red Glass and a Waterlogged Recipe. I love getting a Waterlogged Recipe, it starts a quest to take the recipe to Christi Stockton, the wine vendor at One More Glass, the wine and cheese shop in Dalaran. She gives you 13g23s and 5 Dalaran Cooking Awards for your trouble. It only takes a few seconds to ride from Marcia to Christi and pays well, you can't beat it. Needless to say, Gom had a good day of fishing today.

Daily Cooking - Mustard Dogs 1/24/10

Today Katherine Lee (41,65), the Grand Master Cooking Trainer in the kitchen of A Hero's Welcome, had Mustard Dogs! for Wranngar and Gomorra's daily cooking quest.

This one had me running all over Dalaran picking Wild Mustard in the grassy areas. I started out behind A Hero's Welcome, that is usually good for at least 2. I had no problem getting the rest I needed, 4 on each, as there seemed to be no one else doing it at that time. When I had the 4 I needed I headed over to the bank and grabbed 4 pieces of Rhino Meat to make the Rhino Dogs this recipe calls for. I cooked up the Rhino Dogs and combined them in the Empty Picnic Basket, I was given when I picked up the quest, to make a Mustard Dog Basket!.

I took that over to Archmage Pentarus (68,41) at Krasus' Landing and exchanged it for 9g93s, 2 Dalaran Cooking Awards and a Small Spice Bag. He's a man who likes his Mustard Dogs and is pretty free with the Dalaran Cooking Awards.

Today Wranngar's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices, 4 Baby Spice and another Dalaran Cooking Award in it. Not a bad haul for Wrann today.

Gomorra's Small Spice Bag had 3 Northern Spices and 4 Baby Spice in it. Not a bad haul for Gom either.
